Script randomly launches Extend Script Toolkit

[Guest]

Hi

I have a random error whereby my script runs fine but always additionally launches the Extendscript toolkit. Wondered if someone could have a look through my code and maybe suggest a fix? It's a simple script that automatically generates a guide layer and applies a preset.

var newAdj = this;

    var activeComp = app.project.activeItem;

    if (activeComp instanceof CompItem) {

        var newAdj = activeComp.layers.addSolid([1,1,1], "OCIO", activeComp.width, activeComp.height, activeComp.pixelAspect, activeComp.duration);

        newAdj.label = 5;

        newAdj.adjustmentLayer = true;

        newAdj.guideLayer = true;

}

else {

    alert("Select Comp to apply OCIO.");

}

var main = function() {

  var proj = app.project;

  var presetfilepath = "/C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CC 2018/Support Files/Presets/ocio_apply.ffx"

  var pfile = File(presetfilepath);

  if (pfile.exists !== true) {

    alert('Preset file does not exist');

    return;

  }

  app.beginUndoGroup('apply preset');

  for (var i = 0; i < proj.selection.length; i++) {

    var item = proj.selection;

    if (item instanceof CompItem) {

      var layer = item.layers[1];

      $.writeln(layer.name);

      layer.applyPreset(pfile);

    }

  }

  app.endUndoGroup();

  return 0;

};

var run = function(f) {

  return f();

};

run(main);

Many thanks

You need to comment out or remove the line:

$.writeln(layer.name);

It opens the ESTK so it can write that in the console.

Yes that was it!

Thank you so much Paul - and for a such a quick response. Much appreciated.

Cheers
